Leinen eest Kashiikija

Leinen eest Kashiikija is a song contest held in Kashykia used to decide their representative for the Maia Song Contest. The format for the competition is eight artists as well as songs are selected to take part in the competition where they perform their song in front of an audience. After all eight songs have been performed a twenty minute voting gap begins whereby the eight regions of Kashykia cast their televotes for their favourites. Each region awards the results 12, 10, 8, 6, 3, 1 based on the televoting results. Furthermore the jury votes of four other countries are added to the televoting results to generate a combine score. The winner is the artist who receives the most amount of points.

However, in the second version of Leinen eest Kashiikija the format has been changed so that there will be only 4 results from the televote whereby regions will be grouped in two and the amount of international jury members shall double.
